Since minute hour 1-7 3,6,9,12 0 command_string would run every day from 1 to 7 and also every Sunday, perhaps this might do it.
Yes, this would do it. But it might be a bit "tidier" (for lack of a better word) to have everything in one place (like the scripts text) than spread over several places (part of the logic in cron, part of the logic in the script. If you put [ $(/usr/bin/date +%e) -le 7 ] && into the scripts text or into the commandline of the cron command should (otherwise) make no big difference.
At least this is my personal POV on the matter and maybe only makes sense because of the acquired style i work in. Technically there is no real difference and with another way of doing things the opposite may make equal sense.
